*Ok, so let me tell you a bit of the garment I’m wearing, in case you don’t know about it, it is called Huipil (pronounced we-peel) it’s a traditional mexican garment for women, it’s been used since pre-hispanic times, the fabric is woven on a waist loom and it can have tons of different designs and colors, mine’s made in Oaxaca but it was a gift from my boyfriend, we got it at the FONART store in downtown Mexico City about a month ago, you can find their online store on the previous link with tons of artisanal products from Mexico made by talented artisans. So yeah, that’s my small lesson on huipiles.

I love this post! Sometimes I am thinking seriously about starting a collection of traditional clothing, fashion and trends are nothing without history and traditions. These are for sure the most precious fashion items in the world ❤
